No Sweat
Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant
Over-the-counter clinical-strength antiperspirants are not as harsh as prescription strength but work well when you need them to keep you dry. Be aware, however, the active ingredient in Secret Clinical Strength has aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine (about 20%) which is the strongest concentration you can get without a prescription. If you’re concerned about this ingredient, ask your doctor.
